The Song of Avalon Cowl merges easy-to-follow cable and lace stitch pattern with gentle shaping, forming a silhouette reminiscent of medieval romance. Designed in worsted weight yarn, it’s worked flat from a narrow edge to a wide flare, then seamed. Thoughtful details, including slip-stitch edges and a ribbed border, highlight the eye-catching texture.

Miss Babs Yarns Big Silk (60% Merino Wool, 40% Silk; 540 yds/494 m in 250 g): Blackwatch, 1 skein.
Note: The cowl uses about 1/2 of the skein so there is enough yarn in one skein to make 2 cowls.

While a gauge is not critical for this project, a different gauge can affect the final size and yardage.
